Juno Records Review:

"The ever-prolific Brendon Moeller returns with a third EP for Knotweed under his Echologist alias, treading the line between glitchy minimal, propulsive techno and dubwise immersion with flair and poise. There are some powerful, deeply submerged kicks to be enjoyed on 'Activation', but they're not just deployed as standard. On 'Concentrate' they might be more prominent, but still there's a sense of confident restraint in which Moeller can create captivating energy and a full-frequency experience without resorting to obvious tactics. For those who favour something a little more stimulating and subtle from their techno experience, this EP has everything you need."

KW052 - echologist - Activation

From the shimmering depths of Subosc Records emerges a luminous sonic debut, ushering in a new chapter from France's Charles LCC. His "Introduction EP" unfurls across three ethereal soundscapes of rhythmic immersion and textural wonder.

"Octopus's Garden" opens like curtains parting to reveal a gleaming aquatic dreamrealm. Rippling percussion and notes dissipating into fathomless seas conjure visions of vivid coraline grottos. 
In "Introspection," lacey patterns of synthesized thought crystallize upon subdued beats, steeping the listener in hypnotic reflection.
The journey peaks within the kaleidoscopic whorls of "Circles," its radial pulses emanating from a shimmering nebula of tuned light. Within this mesmeric vortex, all notions of terrestrial logic dissolve into rapture's core.
Techno maestro Luigi Tozzi adds his magic with the remix of "Introduction", retaining the original's ethereal aura but ramping up the rhythmic intensity and full-bodied low ends for the dancefloor.

PREMIERE : Tommaso Nudo - Spirits [Secuencias Temporales]

In the words of the artist the album Go Through is a mental walk and soundtrack in the middle of a mysterious and densely wooded forest. He intends the viewer to enter into the resonance of objects that come to life at every step. Here, plants and animals blend seamlessly with the landscape, transforming everything into a melodic symphony, a musical tapestry without limits where the line between dream and reality dissolves into the invisible.

Written and Produced by Tommaso Nudo in Frigento, Italy.
Mastering by @eafhmlive at ST Studio in Mèxico City

"Seasoned Greetings" (DR008) marks the inception of the DE RIO split-release vinyl series.

Originating from an encounter in Florence, where the duo not only shared the stage but also exchanged personal narratives, the EP delves into their unique interpretations of the techno genre. The result is a mesmerizing collection of four tracks, characterized by hypnotic melodies, unconventional sequences, detuned synthlines, and the pulsating rhythm of raw drums. The collaboration encapsulates the essence of their artistic synergy, promising a sonic journey that captivates and transcends boundaries.

VA - Some Sacred Grounds [ABT-VA003]

Our next premiere is from good friend Darris Hopper on the brilliant mexican label Secuencias Temporales. This stellar release is poised with atmospheric techno, broken beats and sultry layers of warmth. 'Desert Flower' is a majestically floating piece that weaves between atmospheric techno and half time dnb with its beautiful percussions and growling low ends. Definitely my favorite on the release.
  
Darris Hopper - Desert Flower
Sand & Sea [ST081 / Secuencias Temporales]

Is all about the experiences we feel when in contact with Nature...
We are so used to living in the matrix that we don't realize how much we need to re-establish connections with ourselves and mother earth.

This work is a way to describe how a simple morning hike between the sand of the desert and the mediterranean sea in a natural park in southern Spain can touch our deepness and make us feel that huge and strong connection with nature.

Written and Produced by Alex Tirrelli in Spain.
Mastering by Mattias Fridell in Sweden.
